Deuteronomy 14

You are sons of the Lord your God. You shall not gash yourselves; you shall not put baldness between your eyes for a dead person.

For you are a holy people to the Lord your God, and the Lord your God chose you to be a people for his own possession out of all the nations on the face of the earth.

You shall not eat any abomination.

These are the animals that you may eat: the calf from the herd, and the lamb from the flock, and the kid from the goats;

the deer, and the gazelle, and the antelope, and the goat-stag, and the white-rumped antelope, the oryx, and the giraffe.

Every animal among the animals that parts the hoof and makes claws of two hooves and brings up the cud — these you may eat.

But these you shall not eat, from among those that bring up the cud and from among those that part the hooves and make claws: the camel and the hare and the rock badger, because they bring up the cud but do not part the hoof; these are unclean for you.

And the pig, because it parts the hoof and makes claws of the hoof, yet it does not chew the cud — this is unclean for you. Of their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch.

And these you may eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales in them you may eat.

And all that do not have fins and scales you shall not eat; they are unclean for you.

You may eat every clean bird.

And these you shall not eat of them: the eagle and the vulture and the sea eagle;

and the griffon vulture and the kite and the kinds like it;

and every raven and the kinds like it;

and the ostrich and the owl and the gull;

and the heron and the swan and the ibis;

and the cormorant and the hawk and the kinds like it, and the hoopoe and the night raven;

and the pelican and the plover and the kinds like it, and the purple swamphen and the bat.

All the creeping things that fly are unclean for you; you shall not eat of them.

You may eat every clean winged creature.

You shall not eat anything that has died of itself; it shall be given to the resident alien who is in your cities, and he may eat it, or you may sell it to a foreigner; for you are a holy people to the Lord your God. You shall not boil a lamb in its mother's milk.

You shall tithe a tenth of all the produce of your seed, the produce of your field, year by year.

And you shall eat it before the Lord your God, in the place which the Lord your God shall choose for his name to be invoked there. You shall bring the tithes of your grain and of your wine and of your oil, the firstborn of your oxen and of your sheep, so that you may learn to fear the Lord your God all the days.

But if the way is too long for you, and you are not able to carry them up, because the place which the Lord your God shall choose for his name to be invoked there is far from you, and because the Lord your God will bless you,

then you shall exchange them for silver, and you shall take the silver in your hands and go to the place which the Lord your God shall choose.

And you shall spend the silver on whatever your soul desires — on oxen or on sheep, on wine or on strong drink, or on anything your soul desires; and you shall eat there before the Lord your God, and you and your household shall rejoice.

And the Levite who is in your cities also — for he has no portion or inheritance with you.

After three years you shall bring out all the tithe of your produce in that year, and you shall place it within your cities.

And the Levite shall come, because he has no portion or inheritance with you, and the sojourner and the orphan and the widow who are in your cities, and they shall eat and be filled, so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the works that you do.
